What Hawaii Asia Pacific Association (Hapa) does
Mission
The mission of the Hawaii Asia Pacific Association (Hapa) is to organize opportunities for its members to participate in experiences that will promote cultural, economic, and business education and foster international commerce in the asia pacific region.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Program
Providing members the opportunity for the promotion of cultural, economic and business ties with various asia pacific countries. Each hapa event includes a rigorous schedule of activities, including business meetings with religious and political leaders, factory tours, and interactions with country specific business leaders. Members also learn the values of different asian cultures through site visits and experiences, becoming students of different asian cultural and culinary practices and touring areas of historic significance. Each activity emphasizes an aspect of enhancing members' knowledge of the various cultures and intertwined business practices within the asia pacific region. Through hapa, its members are able to then utilize and share the knowledge gained from their experiences with the rest of hawaii. Additionally, hapa works together with the hawaii visitors bureau to assist it in any way necessary to enhance and promote hawaii's tourism industry.
The program described on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2024 to 2025, from $359k to $162k (−55%).
How it's funded, over time
